Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not
place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other
Than the One Specifi ed
Use only the specifi ed battery pack (CF-VZSU43U) with your
CF-30. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured
and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard
(generation of heat, ignition or rupture).
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat-
tery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts
are dirty or damaged.
Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to
become wet.
If the battery pack will not be used for a long period of
time (a month or more), charge or discharge (use) the
battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes
30% to 40% and store it in a cool, dry place.
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% of capacity.
The battery pack is not charged when the computer is
fi rst purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for
the fi rst time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the
computer, charging begins automatically.
Should the battery leak and the fl uid get into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes. Immediately fl ush your eyes with
clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as
soon as possible.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharg-
ing or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature
of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).
( Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the
allowable range requirement is satisfi ed, charging
begins automatically. Note that the recharging time
varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging
takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 °
C {50 °F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable
temperature range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function
that prevents the degradation of the battery in high
temperature environments. ( Reference Manual
“Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100%
charge for high temperature mode is approximately
equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal temperature mode.
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount
of time the computer can be run by using a particular
battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging does not restore its performance,
the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package,
briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in
a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
Always power off the computer when it is not in use.
Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not
connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.
